(5) Aunt Amy wouldn't push the button because Anthony made Aunt Amy's brain go weird. The reason Aunt Amy wouldn't do that because she's a nice person and she doesn't do nothing but sit down on every chair she sees. She's always thinking its hot outside and the weather sould wear down a little bit. Aunt Amy wouldn't touch the box because she has a weird brain. If Aunt Amy push that button, I would be disappointed.

(5) Name a character from another story that we have read who would NOT push
the button. Support your answer with facts about the character.
I do not think Mr. Wordsworth would push the button. In The Obsolete Man, he proved that he was a very ethical man. He stood up for himself in the face of the State and accepted punishment by death simply to prove the point that he was not obsolete. This speaks volumes about his character. He was a good man who cared about people. I don' think, in any circumstance, he would harm another individual regardless of how much money he would receive.

(6) What would you do for a million dollars? For example, would you give up your
best friend? Do you think that everyone has a price? Explain your answer
I would do something simple, like run a lap around a gym for a million dollars. But I wouldn't give up a friend for a million dollars. And I don't think everyone has a price. Just like I said, I wouldn't like to give up a friend for money so, everyone doesn't have a price.

(3) Mr.Steward asks Norma if she thinks she really knew her husband. Do you
think she did? Explain
I don't think she did because if she new her husband, they would've talk out their rules and problems before getting together. Instead of talking it out, Norma had to yell just to convince her husband to agree with her . Norma's husband was against a stupid button but he had a good thought that someone like a little girl or a baby boy , would get killed . Now that she pushed the button without his approval, he disappeared(killed) she is just feeling bad at the same time.

My First Question is #3
Cooperative Comprehension Questions
(3) Mr. Steward asks Norma if she thinks she really knew her husband. Do you
think she did? Explain.
It’s a yes and no answer. No, I don’t think that she actually knew knew her husband. She didn’t know what he was justifying or comphrehending. However, she does know all his basic information. Norma knew his name, probably his birthday, etc, etc, all the basics.
Although she may have known him, she didn’t know him.

(4) Judging from what you know about people, would most people push the button?
Explain.
well depending on the people I know.Well I personally think it depends on the person. I wouldn't push the
button even if I got $50,000.Like in the story it said it could be some girl on the other block yet I still wont push the button.
(1) Why does Norma push the button? Which of her reasons are justified and
which are not?
Well I personally think Norma pushed the button because she wanted to know what would happen.also she wanted to see if it was real and not a scam.
(6) What would you do for a million dollars? For example, would you give up your
best friend? Do you think that everyone has a price? Explain your answer.
I would do a lot of things for a million dollars. but I wont give up my best friend because friendship is one of the most things you need to survive a happy life. And I don't think everyone has a price because people or things have a different price or to others.
